Relentless Execution.
Exceptional Results.
I'm a marketing and communications strategist with more than eight years of experience driving measurable growth through high-performing content and data-driven campaigns.
Trusted by the people I've worked with
Maddy produces as much work in 1 week as a team of five does in a month. Absolute machine.
Maddy is exceptional in every way! Top notch quality work and extremely savvy with new technology while being meticulous with details and a great partner to collaborate with across departments.
I had the privilege of being a previous supervisor of Maddy while she was in college. She is so talented and a fantastic writer. She would be a great addition to any team!
I had the privilege of leading Maddy, and without a doubt, she is the most capable marketer I’ve ever worked with. Maddy breaks the mold by consistently delivering work that’s fast, high-quality, and done in-house, a rare combination that most would say is impossible to achieve.
What truly sets Maddy apart is her ability to tackle new challenges head-on. I regularly sent her projects that would have taken most teams weeks to complete, yet she consistently came back with comprehensive research, clear options, and recommendations that enabled us to make the best decisions for the business.
Maddy is not only an incredible writer and researcher but also an exceptional project manager and teammate. She goes above and beyond every single time, and her contributions have been invaluable. Any team would be incredibly fortunate to have her on board. I hope I have the opportunity to work with her in the future.
I was absolutely blown away by your work ethic, your professionalism, and the thoughtfulness you put into your work product. Quite honestly, I'm not sure I know many who work as hard and as impressively as you do. You have an incredible talent for communicating and messaging, and I've greatly valued, and learned from, your input and diligent performance. Any organization and team would be lucky to have you and the insight you bring. You are an amazing colleague, a meticulous and sharp communicator, and an outstanding person all around. I do not have a doubt in my mind that you are going to excel and do great things in this next position and beyond, and I am truly excited to see what the future has in store.
During my 30-year communications career, I have worked with many interns in agency, corporate and association environments. Maddy is one of the strongest interns with whom I've ever had the pleasure to work. An extremely hard worker, Maddy consistently delivered high-quality work while managing multiple projects at once. She regularly completed assignments well ahead of deadline and was always eager to take on new projects. She will make outstanding contributions to any organization she serves.
During her time with WFP USA, Maddy single-handedly shepherded a new design and delivery structure for our communications and newsletters to staff on Capitol Hill. This required her to quickly learn a complicated landscape of actors, new food security themes and protocols for Congressional communication. She did so with poise, attention to detail and with a fluidity in international food security matters more common to mid-career professional. I have long been impressed with Maddy's entrepreneurial attitude and mindset, having undertaken a variety of internship and volunteer opportunities at prestigious organizations, including WFP USA, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the National Pork Producers Council, among others. As a result, her resume is one that astounds both in terms of the breadth of her experiences and also the quality of those engagements.
Building trusted relationships across industries
Several former supervisors have asked me to come back after moving into new roles. I consider that the highest compliment in any career.
These messages are real. They reflect a shared appreciation for reliability, collaboration, and results that speak for themselves.

Helping people find a place to call home
Buying and renovating my first home at 23 gave me a deep appreciation for design, storytelling, and the pride of ownership. Today I'm based in San Diego and working full time as a real estate agent, pairing my marketing background with a passion for helping people and businesses make meaningful changes.
What my clients say
We truly cannot say enough good things about Maddy.
From the very beginning of our home-buying journey, she went above and beyond for us in ways we never expected. Buying a home can be stressful, emotional, and complicated, and we unfortunately ran into some unexpected issues very late in the process. Through all of it, Maddy remained incredibly patient, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. She never made us feel like we were just another transaction. She genuinely cared about us, took the time to answer our questions, explain our options, and advocate for us every step of the way. Even when things became difficult and emotions were running high, she continued to handle everything with grace and professionalism.
What impressed us most was how hard she worked to protect our interests and make sure we had all the information we needed to make the right decision for ourselves. She was responsive, honest, hardworking, and truly went the extra mile. No matter how our particular situation turned out, we feel incredibly lucky that Maddy was the person guiding us through this process.
If you are looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and will work incredibly hard for you, we could not recommend Maddy more highly. Thank you, Maddy, for everything you did for us. You truly were a godsend throughout this entire experience, and we will always be grateful that we found you.
Thank you, Maddy, for being so proactive and enthusiastic in helping our family find housing. We are very grateful for the guidance and advice you provided us along the way!
You are amazing and have been the only one to understand my way of thinking.
Thank you for all of your patience and support. You have been so wonderful to me!

From Jewell, Iowa to "The Jewel" of SoCal
Built to adapt
I moved nearly every year growing up. It taught me agility, adaptability, and a quiet tenacity that drives everything I do. I have never met a challenge I wasn't willing to take on. I see each one as a chance to learn and grow.
After putting down roots in Iowa and buying my first home at 23, I started a new chapter in San Diego in March 2025. I have family who have lived here for more than twenty years, and strong church communities in both La Jolla and Orange County, so this move has felt like coming back to a second home.
Finding purpose by serving others
Going from Jewell, Iowa to "the jewel" of La Jolla has been a dream. It deepened my gratitude and led me to pursue my real estate license, because I want to help people find spaces that feel like home.
To me, real estate is both an investment and an act of service. Guiding someone through that process is a way to give back, build community, and make a lasting impact. I bring the same standards I bring to every project: excellence, empathy, and heart.
Representing the nation in Japan


Every year, 1.5 million people from around the world travel to Washington, D.C. to see the cherry blossom trees. In 2023, I had the honor of serving as the United States Cherry Blossom Queen. The title comes from a leadership and cultural diplomacy program, and it is not a pageant. The program helps young women build professional skills, form international connections, and celebrate the long friendship between the U.S. and Japan.
During my year, I represented the U.S. on a goodwill tour of Japan and met with Prime Minister Kishida, government officials, and community leaders. I gave dozens of speeches and media interviews, often with little preparation. That experience sharpened my ability to think on my feet, communicate clearly, and stay composed under pressure.
